From 18:17 EDT on Tuesday (an hour after I had gone to bed), the server was being hammered by a vulnerability probing bot. I noticed system load problems when I got up, and kicked the offending IP into the firewall at 02:33 Wednesday. There were 747k requests in between...

Good job, Frans. Don't you have automated checkers to notify you of these system issues?

Of course, the email alerts were how I noticed.

And they didn't wake you up to fix.

Yeah, I've been seeing them occasionally for a couple of days. I am usually able to reconnect almost immediately, but sometimes it takes a few seconds.

Side note to Blue and Franz:

Last night and in to this morning, I kept receiving intermittent Internal Server 500 errors. Didn't matter if I was using Firefox or not or on my VPN or not.

I had the same issue yesterday and last night.
Figured it was a DOS or some such nonsense.
Then I thought it was me, but https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ said Blue's was up.
